Connecticut Child Sex Abuse LawyerTim O’Keefe has obtained a $337,500.00 court judgment against the perpetrator of child sex molestation in a case that he had filed in New Britain Superior Court. “This was a one-time event involving a grown man and a fifteen year old boy. While it only occurred on one occasion, it still has had a devastating impact on the life of our client. The court’s decision fully recognizes and validates that fact. The award also includes punitive damages which is entirely appropriate in this circumstance. We originally obtained a pre-judgment attachment on real estate owned by the perpetrator and we now plan to file a judgment lien and a foreclosure action, if necessary. We hope to be able to recover some assets so our client can be compensated for his damages.” Tim O’Keefe

Connecticut Child Sex Abuse Lawyer Tim O’Keefe has recovered $1,000,000.00 for a man who was sexually abused by an administrator at his middle school when he was a young child. The settlement of the case was announced just days before the case was to begin trial at Superior Court in Hartford, Connecticut. “This administrator should never have been hired by the school system as he had already had his employment terminated because of inappropriate sexualized behavior with another student. It took our client several years before he was ready to come to grips with this extensive sexual abuse. This case serves as a very good example as to why there should be no statute of limitations applicable to child sex abuse claims.” Tim O’Keefe

Connecticut Child Sex Abuse Lawyer Tim O’Keefe announced that his firm has won a victory at the Connecticut Appellate Court in favor of a client who was sexually abused as a minor. “This case involves a claim of the sexual molestation of a four year old child. The defendant tried to convince the Superior Court, and now the Connecticut Appellate Court, that he should be excused from civil accountability for his actions because too much time has passed since the time that he molested this child. Both a Superior Court judge, and now the Connecticut Appellate Court, have completely rejected this specious argument. We now plan to continue with the case against the perpetrator.” Tim O’Keefe

Connecticut Child Sex Abuse Lawyer Tim O’Keefe has obtained a $325,000.00 settlement for a client who claims he was abused by an administrator at a local school. “Our client has chosen to remain anonymous with respect to this case so we are not identifying the school district involved to protect the client. This case presented some logistical challenges because the events in question occurred so many years ago. In the end, our client chose to resolve his claim without a trial. That was the best decision for him and we respect that decision.” Tim O’Keefe
